Exit Strategy

We must constantly ask ourselves how can we create additional value?
Are we continuing to add value? When a private equity firm has completed
its job, in the first year or after 5 years, it’s then time to move on.
(Henry R. Kravis)

The maximum exit opportunity comes from both realizing the value that has been created in the portfolio company throughout the investment relationship and convincing the next buyer that there is additional value to harvest.

The RobinsonEdwards Group can work with fund managers and the management team of the portfolio company to determine potential sources of value and position the company to take advantage of them in the exit phase.
